How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A determined young woman drags a weathered marshal into the wilderness to avenge her father's murder, discovering along the way that vengeance and maturity are far more complicated than youthful conviction allows. It's a Western that trades gunslinging spectacle for the slow erosion of innocence.
